Requirements for life
Cells use this molecule to conserve energy and convert it into a form that can do work.
What is ATP?
This process required the use of the electron transport chain.
What is Respiration/ Oxidative Phosphorylation?
These elements are needed for synthesizing molecules.
What is Carbon and nitrogen?
This is the universal catabolic pathway.
What is glycolysis?
The minimum energy needed for a chemical reactions to occur.
What is Activation energy?
All cells have these fundamental requirements.
What is water, carbon, free energy, and reducing power?
Without this electron donor, we would not have adequate energy.
What is NADH?
The process plants and autotrophic bacteria use to build carbohydrates.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
These are of the products of glycolysis.
2 ATP, 2 Puruvate, 2 NADH
Enzymes are made out of this macromolecule.
What is protein?
These organisms get energy from chemical reactions.
What are Chemotrophs?
This process directs electron flow from electron donors to electron acceptors
What is redox reactions?
This is the synthesis of glucose from this molecule.
What is gluconeogenisis, phosphoenolopyruvate?
This molecule links glycolysis with the citric acid cycle.
What is pyruvate?
Enzymes do this to bonds to facilitate reactions?
What is strain?
These primary producers synthesize organic material form inorganic carbon.
What are autotrophs?
These coenzymes are essential in cycling electrons in anabolic reactions.
What is NADP+/NADPH?
The carbon skeletons of amino acids come from these processes.
What is glycolysis or the citric acid cycle?
This process uses an electron acceptor that is not O2
What is fermentation?
This protein generates torque to synthesize ATP.
What is ATP synthase?
If this molecule is not present, all energy will be lost as heat.
What is ATP?
The most productive method of respiration.
What is aerobic respiration?
A Uridylate skeleton is precursor to these nucleic acids.
What is uracil, thymine, and cytosine
This enzyme has an energy rich thioester bond.
What is A-CoA?
This is needed to catalyze the first step of the Calvin cycle.
What is RubisCO?
